All about my experiences running a boutique and raising our children in Denver, CO.

So, I met with the Denver Business Barons last night.This a networking group founded by Liz Richards http://www.lizrichardsrealestate.com/about.htm. While, I’m not usually a person who joins these groups, it was great fun.I’m a little bit shy around people I don’t know, and I have trouble speaking in public without a martini in my hand.

A few of my customers attend the meetings and always spoke highly of Liz. I met her myself and we had an immediate connection.She is one of my favorite customers and biggest supporters of Swank.

Liz seems to know just about everyone in Denver. She has boundless energy and personality that makes you feel at ease!She’s presently developing the Flats 15 real estate project here in the Denver Highlands and it looks like it will be incredible. http://www.lizrichardsrealestate.com/flats/index.html

The meeting gathers a group of independent business entrepreneurs in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere.Everyone brings something to eat or drink.

This month Martinis and Lemonade (link below) provided the place to meet in their very cool furniture store.They’re a neighbor in the Weir Building and have the greatest selection unique modern furniture, home decoration, antique wallpaper treatments and Interior Design services

It’s like the house we would all love to have.

The group is divided into individual representatives from each industry and two or three people will talk about their business.It is a great experience and truly a treat to meet so many ambitious people with a plan and the drive to make their dream come true.

I’m converted.I really like the people, social interaction and I admire theenergy of people figuring out a business for themselves. Additionally, I can't say enough good things about Liz, she's bringing business and development to the eastern side of the Highlands neighborhood and making this a better place for us all.
